| This fantastic news about the murder rate has clearly caused problems for those who have been peddling the narrative that London is some sort of crime filled hell whole. For those that don't believe that our city is safe and getting safer, maybe you should reflect whether or not your feeling that crime is rising is down to what the algorithim on your social media feeds is telling you or personal experience. Not a single one of my friends, family or aquaintances living in London has been a victim or witnessed a crime over the last three years (other than shoplifting and cybercrime). In the decades prior to that the number of instances was low and my experience chimes with what the data is telling us. The untruth that London is particularly blighted by crime is generally pedalled by people outside the capital or even outside the country with the enthusiastic support of people like Elon Musk who currently presents a far greater risk to women and girls in the capital than anyone else. I'm disappointed to see that so many people on this thread, who I presume live in London , have been gullible enough to fall for this fabrication. Regularly polls and surveys show Londoners generally feel safe. A YouGov poll published in the last month revealed that 63% of Londoners say London is a safe place to live and 81% feel safe in their own local area. |
